Have an ultrasound machine in your practice, but reluctant to use it to image the heart? Already doing abdominal ultrasound, but nervous to go north of the diaphragm?
This course is designed to provide participants with the foundation required to perform a basic echocardiographic examination, and a protocol to follow to obtain standard two-dimensional echocardiography (2D echo) images. Participants will learn how to identify normal cardiac anatomy and normal variations on 2D echo, as well as changes seen with common diseases. This forms the backbone of all echocardiography.
This is a 2-day course with a month between Day 1 and Day 2 to allow you to practise in between!
Why do this course?
Echocardiography is essential for managing many canine and feline cardiac diseases, and some echocardiographic skills are achievable with focussed training and a few hours of practice. This course will provide you with the means to make clinical decisions in cardiac patients that are very challenging without echocardiography. Suitable for participants with little or no experience of echocardiography, but also of value for anyone wanting to improve their 2D and M-mode echocardiography.
